About:config setting reverts upon Firefox restart

Firefox Nastajenja

Hi. There is a new feature of Firefox that bothers me. It is when I drag tabs around the top, they try to group when I don't want them to. So I go to about:config and find the "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" key and set it to false. But when I restart Firefox, the change reverts. How do I fix this so the change stays?

I've already tried going to Menu->Help->More troubleshooting information->Profile Folder->Open folder, but there is no "user.js" file there. Do I have to do a Firefox reset to fix this? I hope not...

Note that I'm pretty sure that other settings that I change do not revert when I restart Firefox. Right now, it seems to be just this one about:config setting, unless the new version of Firefox reverts all manually changed about:config settings upon restart.

Thanx in advance for any help.

Sorry I gave that a thumbs down by accident. I just saw the links to participate and initially didn't see the advice, which as it turns out, actually worked for me.

I don't know how to undo the thumbs down by myself. Maybe a moderator could undo the thumbs down?

So the about:config setting reverts upon restart only because I was active in the study?

Therefore about:config settings that are not connected to active studies would not be reverted upon Firefox restart? Correct?
